ABSTRACT

A control device is used to setup equipments in a bathroom. The equipments are setup according to individual&#39;s customs. The equipments are so setup to become comfortable, convenient and personalized.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a bathroom; more particularly, relates to setting up equipments in a bathroom space by a control device according to customs of individual for comfort, convenience and personality on using.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

A bathroom generally has bathroom facilities, like a shower facility, a toilet seat, a bathtub, a washbowl, etc. for stool, washing or bathing of a user.

Although the bathroom allows a user to go to a stool or to take a bath or shower, simple cool and/or warm water is provided for washing, bathing and showering. And, when a warm water is requested, a period of waiting is required for turning on a heater and for reaching a requested temperature for the warm water; so, water is wasted and inconvenience is brought forth on using. Besides, on hearing a phone ring after entering into the bathroom, a telephone is not answered with doors and windows shut. Moreover, on taking a bath, the user faces only walls and roof without any relaxing accessories owing to restrictions of the bathroom. Hence, the prior art does not fulfill users' requests on actual use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following description of the preferred embodiment is provided to understand the features and the structures of the present invention.

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, which are a side view and a top-down view showing a preferred embodiment according to the present invention; and a block view showing a control device. As shown in the figures, the present invention is a customized bathroom using a controller, comprising a bathroom space 1, a control device 2 and an identification unit 3, where components in the bathroom space 2 are setup by the control device 3 according to personal preference for comfort, convenience and personality.

The bathroom space 1 comprises an air conditioner 11, a lighting unit 12, an audio-video (AV) player 13, a plurality of bathroom facilities 14, a washing basin unit 15 and a communication unit 16 where the bathroom facilities 14 comprises a bathtub unit 141, a shower unit 142 and a toilet seat 143; the washing basin unit 15 comprises two washbowls 151, a mirror 152 and a plurality of lockers 153; the washing basin unit 15 has a weight scale 154 below; the communication unit 16 has an input 161 and an output 162; the input 161 has a wireless transmission interface of bluetooth or ultraviolet or a wire transmission interface; and the output 162 is a speaker.

The control device 2 is deposed in the washing basin unit 15 and is electrically connected with the air conditioner 11, the lighting unit 12, the AV player 13, the bathroom facilities 14, the washing basin unit 15 and the communication unit 16; the control device 2 comprises a customization setup module 21 and a storage unit 22; the customization setup module 21 comprises an air-conditioner setup module 211 electrically connected with the air conditioner 11, a light setup module 212 electrically connected with the lighting unit 12, an AV player setup module 213 electrically connected with the AV player 13, a water-temperature setup module 214 electrically connected with the bathroom facilities 14 and the washing basin unit 15, and a communication unit setup module 215 electrically connected with the communication unit 16; and setup parameters are stored in the storage unit 22.

The identification unit 3 is deposed at a proper place outside of the bathroom space 1 and is electrically connected with the customization setup module 21; and the identification unit 3 is a fingerprint reader. Thus, a novel customized bathroom using a controller is obtained.

Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, which are a top-down view and a block view showing a state of use. As shown in the figure, when using the present invention, lockers 153 are used to put bathing and showering accessories for individuals separately; each individual sets up an air conditioner 11, a lighting unit 12, an AV player 13, a plurality of bathroom facilities 14, a washing basin unit 15 and a communication unit 16 of a bathroom space 1 under personal requests through a customization setup module 21 of a control device 2. In the customization setup module 21, an air-conditioner setup module 211 is used to setup the air conditioner 11; a light setup module 212 is used to setup the lighting unit 12 for its turning on or off and its brightness; an AV player setup module 213 is used to set up the AV player 13 for its channels, volume, etc.; a water-temperature setup module 214 is used to setup the bathroom facilities 14 and the washing basin unit 15 for their water temperatures (such as water temperatures of washbowls 151, a bathtub unit 141, a shower unit 142 and a toilet seat 143). After an input 161 of a communication unit 16 is connected with a mobile phone 4, a communication unit setup module 215 is used to setup functions of call forwarding, sound volume, automatic answering, etc. Then, setup parameters are categorized and are stored in a storage unit 22 for each individual after being identified by an identification unit 3. Thus, customized environmental parameters of the bathroom space 1 are setup and stored in the control device 2 for each individual.

On entering the bathroom space 1, an individual is identified by the identification unit 3 outside of the bathroom space 1. After the identification, customized environmental parameters stored in the storage unit 22 are read for the individual. The individual enters the bathroom space 1; then the accessories in the locker 153 are accessed. A weight scale 154 below the washing basin unit 15 is used to weigh the individual. The equipments in the bathroom space 1 are turned on according to parameters setup for air temperature, light brightness, AV channels, sound volume, water temperature, call forwarding, automatic answering, etc., where the equipments comprises the air conditioner 11, the lighting unit 12, the AV player 13, the bathroom facilities 14, the washing basin unit 15 and the communication unit 16. Thus, the equipments in the bathroom space 1 provides customized states of use for the individual with the customization setup module 21 and the storage unit 22.

To sum up, the present invention is a customized bathroom using a controller, where equipments in a bathroom space is setup by a control device according to customs of individual for comfort, convenience and personality on using.
